Talking of Unit of Time then no doubt it is second. But measuring time in larger units are minute

When measurements are required upto first decimal, for example 2.3 m or 4.6 cm etc. It consists of a line divided into number of equal main parts and the first main part is sub-divided into smaller parts. Mark zero (O) at the end of the first main part. From zero mark numbers to the main parts or units towards right and give numbers to the sub-divisions or smaller parts towards left. Give the names of the units and sub-units below clearly. Indicate below the name of the scale and its R.F clearly.

How is converting from cups to pints similar to converting from ounces to pounds?

The similarity of these two conversions alone is that -- both of these convert from a smaller unit to a larger unit, so the original number becomes a smaller number, and -- both of these are involved with US customary units of measure.
